A $90 discount? What a steal!

A $90 discount? What a steal!

This is unfathomable to me. Oooh, look! Hailey Bieber, a famous person, used this baby carrier! Don’t you want it?! Spend nearly a grand to carry your infant around in this luxury-priced item, which will get peed and pooped in and will be of no use to you in one year! Oh, also, it’s USED

No stupid questions…

Hello, everyone! Mods, please remove if this is not appropriate to make a post for.

I’ve been on this sub for quite a while now and have really appreciated what I’ve learned reading about everyone’s unique experiences with being poly. I am in a situation right now and am asking for advice… Please be honest, but don’t be cruel lol

I (29NB) have been talking to B (38NB) for about six months. We’ve been long distance friends for a while, a little over two years, but have only started talking regularly since I went through a nightmare of a breakup with my ex husband. B had flirted with me before, but I shut it down immediately because I wasn’t comfortable with that while I was monogamous with my husband. They took it with respect, and we carried on with our lives.

B has a nesting partner (?F) whom they have been with for ten years. Since B and I have been talking, I’ve had a lot of thoughts around B being poly and having an established relationship already. It doesn’t bother me, it’s just something that I’ve accepted as their reality. I love that B has somebody like that in their life. And I love that I get to be a part of B’s life, too!

Here is my situation: I deeply care for B. We text every day, are very affectionate, and have sexual exchanges pretty regularly. I have been loving being single. I’m exploring who I am outside of a (toxic and codependent) mono relationship, and I love the person that I am becoming. I also love the idea of being able to love another person, while also embracing my own independence and ability to love people so abundantly. Would that be selfish of me? To want to be with this person, but grow somewhat separately with them? (does that make sense? are you annoyed with all of my questions yet?)

I’m absolutely itching to tell B that I love them. BUT I DON’T KNOW HOW TO. This situation is so new to me. Am I poly? Am I moving too quickly? I just feel like this relationship is something that could really make us happy, but I’m so freaked out lmao. Maybe I’m too traumatized by my last relationship to even begin a relationship right now!!! /s (sorry)

I guess I just need advice. I’m so new to this. Help me lol
